Are you a serious historian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogaden_War

There were 18.000 cubans in Ogaden.

Yes, the cubans made the whole difference.

What do soviet say?

The soviet general is very clear.

Look at this:

http://www2.stjohnsprep.org/teachers/wb ... _guys.html

Interview: Petr Chaplygin, Soviet Military Mission, Ethiopia

"The Cuban troops in Ethiopia played a very important role. The Ethiopians couldn't have provided the military organization to destroy the Somali troops in such a short period of time, even with our help."

Narration: Mengistu Haile Mariam basked in glory. The Cubans and Soviets had saved his regime.

don't worry about the cuban dreamer. If 4 guys beat him today he will still say it was a fair fight

This fool brings nothing to this site but catechism after catechism. Worthless really

[luis1]

Well I dont know any somali here with information about the war.

They only insult me,so I will do the same.

I only tell you next:You have a source show me yours and I will show you mine.

[zingii]

Belligerents
Socialist Ethiopia
Cuba
South Yemen
Soviet Union

Vs

Somalia

[zingii]

Who is the coward now?

Add Libya and egypt to that list too.

[luis1]

So????

That doesnt make any sense.

Russia was invaded in 1812 and Napoleon had many allies:

Italians
Frenchs
Austrians
Germans
Spaniards
Prussians

At the end Russia defeated all them,if Somalia couldnt do that was because Somali Army and men were not ready to fight all these enemies.

Perhaps we were many enemies,but we had many problems like:different idioms and strategies,Cubans(soviet strategy),ethiopians(american strategy)

Somalia doesnt have any excuse to argue only its own incapacity to beat us.

But this is not the only problem here,there is still in Somalia many somalis who believe that Somalia defeated Cuba,Soviet Union and Ethiopia,this reality is ver sad,I can not understand why somalis can not accept the truth about what happened in 1978,even here you can see many somalis who say Somalia won the war.

This is a very sad reality.

[luis1]

Well I am tired of this conversation,I have showed you many sources(somali,americans),but the somalis still insist(without any single proof) Somalia won the war.You and the rest of somalis always insult me,but you can never give any source.

Well I will rest of this for a long time.

This is very sad,I have been here 3 years and nobody,nobodoy can show me any source which supports your view about the great victory in 1978.

Well bye

I Thought I would find historians here but I made a mistake.

So I will not talk about this topic again because is obvious you dont know anything about it.

Somalia defeated Ethiopia and when all those countries got involved Somalia retreated for political reasons.

I hope i answered your question.
